In a major recruiting development, the Texas Longhorns have secured a commitment from four-star defensive lineman Myron Charles, flipping him from Florida State. This comes as a significant win for Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian and his staff, who have been working diligently to bolster their defensive line depth for the future.
Charles, a 6-foot-4, 290-pound defensive lineman from Tallahassee, Florida, had been committed to Florida State for several months. He was considered a key piece of the Seminoles’ 2025 recruiting class, drawing attention for his size, strength, and ability to disrupt opposing offenses. Florida State had heavily invested in recruiting him, and his flip to Texas is a blow to their #Tribe25 class.
Texas has been aggressively recruiting top defensive prospects in recent cycles, and Charles fits the mold of an impact player who can immediately bolster their defensive front. His ability to play multiple positions along the line makes him an invaluable asset, allowing the Longhorns’ coaching staff to experiment with various defensive schemes.
For Charles, the decision to flip his commitment reportedly came after an official visit to Austin, where he was impressed by the facilities, coaching staff, and the opportunity to make an early impact in a program on the rise. The Longhorns are looking to build off their momentum as they transition to the Southeastern Conference (SEC), and adding a player of Charles’ caliber helps strengthen their defensive core.
This flip marks a major recruiting victory for Texas, reinforcing their growing reputation as a national contender in the race for elite high school talent.
